We are now stocking replacement Parker Duofold Centennial nib units in needlepoint (80), in addition to the exotic broad oblique (89), broad italic (95) and EEB (86) nib grades already available from Penbox. These exotic nib grades can be found along with other standard options on our Parker pen nib page. The nib grades of Parker Duofold Centennial nibs are impressed in a circle on the ink feed beneath the nib, with a letter being used for standard nib grades, and a number for exotic nib grades.

Penbox stock replacement nibs for several makes of fountain pen, and recently have added a few additional nib grades to the choice of replacement nibs we carry for the Waterman Expert. We now have replacement extra fine, fine, medium and broad Waterman Expert nibs available to select from on our Waterman nibs shopping page. These nibs will fit both the mark 2 and mark 3 Expert fountain pens.

Waterman Elegance nibs are supplied as a complete front end, as imaged above, and customers can choose from an option of extra fine, fine, medium or broad nib grades. The 18k gold two tone nibs are housed in silver or gold plated sections dependent on the finish of the fountain pen, with rhodium highlights, and decorative engraving. We also sell the fountain pens in the pen shop and online.

Why Waterman amended the threaded section on the Waterman Perspective nib unit we don’t know. However, we do know that the earlier version had a short threaded section and the later version has a longer (lengthened) threaded section (see the image above). This means that having ordered a Perspective nib from Penbox we will enquire with the customer to qualify which version is required. The nibs can be purchased here in both silver or gold plated finishes.

In 2010 the Waterman Hemisphere pen range was amended with a series of new finishes. At the same time the Waterman Hemisphere nibs were amended by the addition of a wider band on the nib unit. At Penbox we stock both the pre 2010 and post 2010 Hemisphere nibs. When ordering please put a note in the comments box to indicate which varient you want (please view the above image). If customers do not add a note we will enquire before posting the nib out. Waterman nibs can be found listed here: www.penbox.co.uk/waterman-pen-nibs.htm .

Since the 1880’s Waterman have been manufacturing pens and www.penbox.co.uk are proud to be a fully authorised retailer.
